How based in reality are these combinations in these numbers?

  1. The aardvark/meerkat is definitely doable, but I'm not sure about how the Fennec Fox would work in this situation.
  2. This seems like it'd work, but only if the elephant and rhino are not together.
  3. Probably the least likely to work as the two bird species need very different water set-ups.
  4. Seems fine to me.
  5. Doable, I've seen tortoises mixed with lemurs before - my only concern is whether the two ruffed species would get along.
  6. I've seen pygmy hippo and mandrill done before. Unsure if the bongo would work.
  7. Probably doable.

1. There is evidence that aardvark and fennec fox, fennec fox and meerkat, and meerkat and aardvark have all been tried before, but not all 3 as far as I've been able to tell. Any ways to mitigate possible issues, and what is likely to come up?

2. Gotcha. Perhaps a way only the smaller ones can freely go between?

3. I'm thinking there would be some of each water setup, and a way to travel between for both birds.

5. I have looked into this one and it appears there is some overlap! Studies have been done in captivity and they do get along, and can even understand one anothers' calls.

6. Yeah, bongo was one big question I had. I know it has been attempted with other similar hoofstock but I can imagine it depends on individual temperament
